Episode 12

This week your family will GET INTO Colossians 3:17. You’ll be reminded that no matter what you DO and SAY, you’re a REPRESENTATIVE of Jesus—and you can GIVE THANKS for that!

So, gather your family, start streaming the video, and … GET INTO IT.

After the video remind your family that this week you’ll TALK IT UP and then ACT IT OUT together. You’ll find ways your family can find joy as you REPRESENT Jesus.

Watch this worship video as a family and sing along with Mr. Andy and Sadie. Add these songs to the soundtrack of your week! You can get the lyrics HERE.

As you TALK IT UP this week, keep track of ideas your family has for ways to ACT OUT the truth of Colossians 3:17. And TALK IT UPWARDS by praying together. Ask God to transform your hearts so you become better at speaking up for Jesus and living as His REPRESENTATIVES.
